Two white diamonds! / RED LOBSTER GARLIC CHEESE BISCUITS (LIGHT)

Jon emailed us to remind us that Father's Day and the two weeks of the Jazz Festival will affect his making the Sunday dinners for three weeks. Of course, that depends on whether Father's Day is celebrated with lunch or dinner, and whether anyone will volunteer to make stuff for the two weeks afterwards. I probably won't, as I don't really have much skill that way. We'll see if anyone else does, haha.

I got two white diamonds in the same Bookworm game! First, I constructed the word LOB using three yellow / gold tiles; I used the resulting G white diamond on the word GAG. Later, I made the word HAGS using three yellow / gold tiles on the H, A, and G. The resulting T white diamond was used on the word JUT, resulting in 9520 points for a single word. :D
